Signature Investigation: The White Supremacist ICE Prosecutor
Investigative reporting that identified the operator of an anonymous racist social media account as a prosecutor inside the immigration enforcement system, followed by congressional scrutiny and continued accountability reporting.

Signature Investigation: The Hidden Political Network in Dallas
A multiyear investigation into an interconnected campaign involving media, political astroturfing, nonprofits, and concealed influence in Dallas politics. My reporting revealed hidden connections between advocacy groups, nonprofits, a news media outlet, and a major political donor.
